Well arnt you the lucky one anyways i just got a quote from a body shop on a unfinished ram air hood if I was to buy one,and they quoted me at 599.99 prep/paint/clear/mount..so add that to what ever hood your thinking about.
That's abit high for that hood work. To prep, paint and clear should be no more than $325 unless the color is a candy or pearl. Labor should be about 2.5 hours and materials about $125.

Yea,thats a worse case scenario,depending on how rough it is.on the other hand if its prepped and ready to paint,and the holes dont need cut out,then yea he said around 399.99 maybe he is high,to much time in the booth.

Yes, yes I was. It was the last time he did a drawing if I remember.
